How dare you suggest such a thing. I would not dream of doing anything like that. Well ok maybe just a little squeeze. But only to check if they were real you understand.

hi wammers,i have try'd to take reading on dti,when the lobe is 12oclock,i pre load the dti by 2m,when turning engine so that i get point for zeroing the outer bezel the lobe is nearly tdc,so when i turn engine a little i can lock the flywheel with no reading,if i take locking pin out and continue turning the engine the next time i can lock flywheel the lobe is now at 6oclock and the reading iam getting is 95 is this right,pat
NO. When the exhaust lobe is vertical 12 o'clock. That is 90 degrees Before Top Dead Centre. At TDC the cam lobes will be virtually flat and the pin should be locking the flywheel. The exhaust lobe just before 3 o'clock going down and the inlet lobe pointing to just after 9 o'clock going up. Forming a flat V. That is when pin should enter and you should have a reading. The reading is taken at TDC.
Let me put it another way, turn engine CLOCKWISE until first cam is pointing straight up. That is 90 degrees before top dead centre number one cylinder on compression stroke. Or put another way engine at quarter to twelve. Preload your DTI. Turn engine CLOCKWISE Slowly until DTI stops moving. Set it by turning bezel to zero. Continue turning engine slowly clockwise until pin drops in flywheel, this should happen when engine is at twelve o'clock. Have you had your pump out or moved it before trying to time it?
